Slice of Paradise

Esk river

Hawke's Bay

Frederieke, 10

My place, my special, special place.
I hear the water running frantically around the rocks,
at my place my special, special place.
I look up and see tree tops playing tug of war,
at my special, special place.
I feel the squishy mud knitting a sweater around my toes,
at my special special place.
